I'm transitioning python code from an Add-in used in ArcMap to ArcGIS Pro. I decided to use a Python notebook for one of the scripts. I am copying the code from the Add-In and pasting it into the notebook.
The line below is causing an error.
arcpy.CalculateField_management(CountyAgSUM, "GISdeed", "a(!FIRST_FIRS!)", "PYTHON_9.3", "def a(FIRST_FIRS):\\n if FIRST_FIRS == \"AC\":\\n return \'0\'\\n else:\\n return FIRST_FIRS")
And the error it's throwing is listed here.

Any suggestions on what I need to do to fix it are appreciated.
